Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters Preview

The Dolphins face a critical test in their finals bid as they take on the third-placed Sydney Roosters in Perth.

The Dolphins, having slipped to eighth, have struggled recently with just two wins from their last eight games. Their recent form includes a distressing 21-14 loss to the Titans, where they squandered a 14-0 lead. Discipline issues and a tendency to falter in the second half have been their downfall.

The Roosters are in better shape, sitting third and coming off a narrow 34-30 victory over Manly, despite a shaky second half. The return of Joey Manu from a hand injury and the suspension of Michael Jennings will add a new dynamic to their lineup.

The Dolphins’ memorable 28-18 win over the Roosters last season was countered by a 30-14 loss in Sydney in Round 24. With the Roosters looking to make a statement and the Dolphins’ ongoing defensive struggles, the Roosters are likely to assert their dominance. The Dolphins’ recent form and inability to contain high-scoring games make them underdogs in this clash.
